Mankind Divided Footage Set to "The Golem City"
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Rk0MRYFnYo)

The “Announcement Trailer” for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has won a Clio Award!

The trailer, with music composed by Michael McCann, involved many different people and companies including Goldtooth Creative BC (Canada), Visual Works animation studio (Square Enix – Japan), Eidos Montreal (Canada) and sound design by Alchimik Audio (Canada).

Michael McCann (also known as Behavior) is a Canadian composer for television, video games, and film.
He is best known for composing the scores to the video games Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

McCann's music incorporates elements of electronic, orchestral and traditional acoustic instruments, and often includes the use of world, choral, and solo vocals (primarily female, and primarily lyric-less). His scoring work, as well as solo and production work, bridges multiple genres including ambient, world, jazz, break-beat, post-rock, trip-hop, drum and bass, industrial, rock and pop.

Not targeting you personally here, but why does everybody and their mother always say this? There is an ungodly high amount of crap in country, but saying one likes all genres besides this one always felt a bit odd. There's so much junk out there, in every single genre, that by breaking what you like into genres, and then excluding only one, makes it all self-contradictory. A good sound is a good sound, even if everybody has their preferences.

While I do like what's good (to me) in all genres, personally the oddity of a unique voice trumps anything else, which is probably why I enjoy good blues more than everything else. This is where personal tastes come into play.

Lady_Of_The_Vine

1st May 2015, 00:24

No worries, I like questions. :D
The answer is not as complicated as you might think and it isn't self-contradictory. I have listened to country music... but it just doesn't do anything for me.
My music library is massive; but I have never found one C&W track I actually connect with.

FrankCSIS

1st May 2015, 00:35

Guess what I'm trying to say is when it comes to music (or any art really), breaking down what you like into genres is entirely irrelevant. As it turns out, in any given genre, you probably like a specific artist, or a specific sound reproduced by many artists, and are indifferent to everything else in that one genre. And even there, it's likely you only really like specific songs from an artist, and not their entire repertoire. So braking it down to genres makes little sense. You may hear a thousand country songs and never click, until one specific instance, in a specific point in your life, one song comes up on the radio while you're doing a long haul, canyon-carving drive and it all makes perfect sense. You may never like any other song in the genre ever again, without taking anything away from that particular moment.

Hence why I never understood that sentence, which everybody always says, in one variation or another.

Lady_Of_The_Vine

1st May 2015, 00:45

Who knows. I consider my music taste to be incredibly diverse; but just can't get into the C&W vibe.

Red Dead Redemption has such a good soundtrack. All of the four songs with vocals fit their respective scenes preeeeetty gosh darn nicely. On the subject of country, I dig it. I like all music. My parents took care of that. But I'd say The Highwaymen and their solo acts are my favorites. I'm not really a connoisseur of fine trailer rock saying the biggest country super group of all time is my fave, but still.

I had no idea it would be classified as classic C&W music though, I was thinking on the lines of Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson etc.

This is a pretty good mix, I must admit. Definitely has that 80s vibe. Speaking of Blade Runner, I listened to its OST recently - can't go wrong with it, brilliantly composed and fits in perfectly with the dystopian world. Am I safe to assume that a lot of people here are fans of Blade Runner and/or Philip K. Dick? For me, Blade Runner is my number one film to come out of the 80s, and that's quite a feat too considering the abundance of fantastic films from that era. I'll never get tired of watching it!

I've listened to the OST just yesterday, but I've watched the movie only once. The amount of 80's classics is undeniable, but my all time fav movies are Terminators so I'll go with T1 as movie from that period that first comes to my mind.
However, while while listening to this particular DX mix, my thoughts went from Terminator, Total Recall, Blade Runner, Depeche Mode, Boy George, Camouflage and what not. The power of synth, I say. :D

I like it. Sounds like a real thing and lyrics are on place too with the whole control theme. I would be easily fooled and think it's the 80's thing, though. :thumb:
Out of curiosity, why prefer modern over the real 80's? :)

I'll give McCann props for the Double Agent OST. He did a very nice job solidifying the depressing theme of that game.

Despite not playing the game, I stumbled upon that soundtrack some time ago. Now whenever McCann is mentioned, besides DXHR OST, I think of Iceland Extraction/Fight - pure awesomeness. :D

2nd May 2015, 20:54

I like things that make something new by combining and polishing older and newer ideas and influences, as long as it's executed well. There's a lot of western influence in The Protomen's second album, and all of it is performed with a modern perspective on music as it has developed since the 80s.

There's a lot of really cool modern European folk music these days.

Only if you move away from the "classic" country sound. So once you infuse rock or folk, then I am more likely to connect.

I'm happy McCann is back for the OST. Is it me? Or Does the music this time round sound too serious? Almost Military. I hope we get ambient music, and more vocals on the tracks like we did in Human Revolution. So far the music feels it's lacking some soul.

Most of their music doesn't sound similar to McCanns soundtrack though.

Listen here::

Dark Cyberpunk Ambiance VOL.2
xkmuZF0pr-8

This is the 2nd mix, the successor to the first Dark Cyberpunk Ambiance in which I had released 2 years ago. This is deeply inspired by the "Deus Ex: Human Revolution" Soundtrack. I thought it would be nice to compose something in the same style and spirit as Michael McCann, music composer for Deus Ex Human Revolution. These 4 tracks are part of the NEW "Hybrid Fantasy" album, which you can get at the link below.

I knew they couldn't ignore the future techno-wonderland that was Dubai. Now if only I knew which thread I said that in so I didn't have to troll through my entire post history to find it...

EDIT: Here we go. I guess it wasn't a prediction so much as a desire. But that desire was borne out of how logical the choice was and how they couldn't possibly ignore a place like Dubai for very long.

I hope Dubai is a city hub, but I'm not holding my breath.

Lady_Of_The_Vine

7th Oct 2015, 20:08

Sooo. Dubai confirmed as a location it seems.
I'm really chuffed Dubai is one of the locations. Its like a second home as most of my family live there. :cool:

The release of the extended version of the Deus Ex: Human Revolution soundtrack has been postponed indefinitely. Although it is still my hope that many of the unreleased tracks from DX:HR will see an official release, the focus right now is 100% on the upcoming Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Alright, color me much more interested. Combining their styles could lead to some really interesting experiences.

I was very impressed with the sound for the latest trailer for the hotly-anticipated ‘Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’ – and discovered that the sound design and mix was done by sound designer Yohann Boudreault.

I managed to get in touch with him to get the story behind the sound, and in this A Sound Effect interview, he shares his approach, ideas and techniques for the Deus Ex trailer sound

So i've played about 50 hours into the new game and i have to say I really enjoy the soundtrack! I think both composers did a fantastic job. I also have a new cyberpunkish theme score coming out as well. Here a sample ,
https://soundcloud.com/gimmengong/requiem-saecula-saeculorum-by-gimmen-gong-06-21-2016 . I do music for video games as well and I appreciate the work these guys put into the game. Nothing is more fun than playing your own game and deciding how and where music could be put into it. :)
